Adobe Flash Player 10 released

No 64 bit support until V11

Flash Player support on 64-bit operating systems
Issue
Adobe Flash Player is not supported for playback in a 64-bit browser. However, you can run Flash Player in a 32-bit browser running on a 64-bit operating system.


Reason
Adobe is working on Flash Player support for 64-bit platforms as part of our ongoing commitment to the cross-platform compatibility of Flash Player. We expect to provide native support for 64-bit platforms in an upcoming release of Flash Player following Flash Player 10.

They've been claiming for a long time that it's because they can't port the code, they'd have to rewrite the whole thing, it's very difficult because of this, etc etc. Basically, don't expect to see it appear for a long time - they pretty much have a monopoly with the plugin, and as a result they can drag their feet as long as they want.
 
What advantage does a 64-bit browser give though? Is there really any reason for them to update it?

What's the point in 64bit hardware or 64bit Windows then if that's the way to look at it ?.

Above are just lazy, they have had many years to work on this.

There is no real gain for the browser or wMP for now but it would be good to try get totally 64bit then we would not need run a 32bit Emulation (Wow64) which actually MS states can (not will) run 32bit App's slower than in 32bit Windows.
